PPP Project Implementation

This stage follows the structuring, appraisal, and detailed preparation of the PPP project. In this section, you will find materials and resources focused on managing PPP contracts, including guidance on monitoring and enforcing contract requirements, as well as managing the relationship between public and private partners. It also provides training resources on key topics such as dispute resolution, refinancing, contract termination, and dealing with disruptions.

Additionally, this section offers examples and resources that outline the PPP process, define institutional responsibilities, and cover project implementation. Some governments have established dedicated PPP Units, which bring together staff with specialized expertise to ensure effective project management.

Understanding the legal avenues for redress is crucial for all parties involved in an infrastructure project. It's important to assess whether the host country’s court system is suitable for resolving disputes between contracting parties and addressing concerns of wider stakeholders, such as customers. If legal redress through the courts is unavailable, limited, or unsuitable—particularly for foreign investors—alternative mechanisms may be available through law or contract.

The Disruption and PPPs section explores the growing impact of global disruptions, including climate change, natural disasters, economic crises, disruptive technologies, and pandemics like COVID-19. These unprecedented challenges are reshaping how PPP contracts are managed, as discussed further in PPP Contracts in An Age of Disruption.
